Good Morning!
I don't know about you, but  I cant seem to keep my days straight lately. We were so busy with the hop and then getting to go to take the kids on their first homeschool field trip of the year, I woke up thinking it was Saturday for some reason :D hehehe! Slightly off there a little bit aren't I ??? ;)
 If you missed the hop, stop by the Fresh Brewed Designs Shop to see the NEW RUBBAH and more!!!

Well I DO Know it is time for another Freshly Brewed Challenge!

We loved looking at all of the beautiful cards from last week. 
I did spot this awesome FBD creation and am featuring it today!

 Anne - please snag the I WAS FEATURED badge in our sidebar if you wish 
Dont you love this gate fold card? The colors are just so peaceful and lovely.

Now on to this weeks challenge!
We are challenging you to use a 
DATE OR TIME THEME!
We want to see a date, time, clock, or words relating.

First up is Vanessa with this AWESOME card!
I love how she used the Dotty Cupcake digi as a clock! Brilliant! 
I do believe it is cake time!!!


Next up is a BEAUTIFUL card that Sheryl created
using the NEW rubber stamp, Work it Work out Girl. 
I love the sentiment! and the beautiful girly papers. 
She ALWAYS has the best embellie ideas!

This tag is just GORGEOUS! look at all of these beautiful ribbons, lace, feathers...
and the shading on the image! WOW!!!
I think we should all take a moment and sigh ****
This was created by Kenzie using the rubber stamp: Coffee Take Me Away

and last but not least (because a few of us are behind *cough* me*) 
is Linda with this STUNNING creation. 
I love how she used the Tea Time Cup digital stamp for this
seemingly CAS card. I say seemingly because look at all of the 
detail work. It is a gorgeous monochromatic card with embossing and stitching
sigh. Beautiful!!!


Now it is your turn!!!

WWWHhhHHEeeeeeeeeEEEEeeee




Guess what!?!
TOMORROW IS THE FBD RUBBER STAMP RELEASE AND HOP!
We have all been speeding around and getting ready for the hop - so you may have not seen us around as much lately - but watch out - we are armed and ready :D PREPARE FOR SOME FUN! 



Today I have a cute little card to share with you. 
This card was created with the FBD Digital stamp Speedy Snail
 I wanted to keep the card base clean, so I chose to draw the lines around the card base, inside and out. I think it looks fun with the black and white twine, don't you?

Be sure to stop by our FACEBOOK FAN PAGE for a 
sneak peek *hint* of some of what you will be seeing at our hop. 

SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!
HUGS, 
Heather

Wishing You a Wonderful Day

I wanted to start out today by not only wishing you a wonderful day, but also to remind you of the Rubber Stamp Release Blog Hop coming up February 25, 26, & 27. That's right, new rubbah!!! HOORAY!!


And because we're having a new rubber release, I wanted to show you a card I made just for fun using a Fresh Brewed Designs rubber stamp called La Dolce Vita (The Sweet Life). I kept the layout simple yet fun. Now I had every intention to sew on my card but, how sad is this, didn't realize that I didn't until it was all put together!!!! Talk about being distracted!! Anyway, if you want to read more about my card, please visit my blog, The Stamper's Touch. Also be sure and come back tomorrow for our new fun weekly challenge. There's still time to play in the month long prize challenge, LOVE. You can find all the details HERE.

Hello Monday!


Happy Monday everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful Weekend... and for some of us it is still going on today!
 (woohoo for a 3 day weekend!!!)

I created this card over the weekend. It is my first time creating a stair step card. I wish I had been a bit more creative with it :D it is sort of plain, but still 'works'. I can picture butterflies peeking / springing out from the stair step behind the main image :)  Maybe Next time.


This card was created using the Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber Stamp E(spresso) Mail
to read more about my card hop on over to my blog: Heather's Coffee Break

Don't forget our BLOG HOP is coming up this Saturday!
We will be releasing RUBBAH and have lots of fun things to share with you!

Movie Night

Good Morning. 
I know it has been a few days since I have posted *sigh* sorry!!!  But it has been for you! :D We are gearing up and getting ready for our NEW RUBBAH RELEASE. That is all happening on February 25, 26, and 27th! You really don't want to miss it. It is going to be a FUN one! :D 
AND you can win a surprise rubber stamp by going HERE

OK, I don't know about you, but we are so busy during the week we always like to have a 'movie night' with the kids. It happens sometimes on Friday night, and sometimes on Saturday night and is sometimes a short show, but we do it together with snacks and laughing and a little fighting between the kids :D but I love every second of it.


 
I created this card using the Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber Stamp: Candy Corn Girl. 
I LOVE to use stamps for themes other than what they appear to be created for. She is easy to mask off with the bowl of candy corn, or to cover like I did. The spider in her hair is easily hidden by drawing over it to be a hairbow, placing a rhinestone or flower... and voila! She is ready to go! :D


I hope you all have a super wonderful bright sunshiny Saturday
LOTS of HUGS and SMILES!

I will take care of it for you :D
